*GangStarr's "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?" plays in the background*
2
[Guru]
3
It's like, a friendship, and a business partnership
4
And, we have to always be concious of the difference
5
between em; because y'know, some things can happen
6
that'll ruin one or the other, so
7
we alwa-we always stay concious of those things
8
Those obstacles that can, y'know trip us up
9
because we ain't trying to go out like that
10
*Primo scratching fades in gradually*
11
"friends" "business" (repeat 3X)
12
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRAHHAHHH!!!
13
C'mon! Motherfucker! Yeah! ...
14
GangStarr! GangStarr! M.O.P.
15
Ghetto people!
16
[Guru]
17
Son you're supposed to be my man, but you ain't wise enough to realize
18
this is B.I., see I wanna taste the whole cake
19
Some things in this industry, shit be so fake
20
Make no mistake, if you're my man you'd understand
21
about the plan, to stack hundreds of grands (That's right!)
22
And how to stand, on much more acres of land
23
And to expand from the days of goin hand to hand
24
So like I was CEO I do my thing son
25
and turn this underground rap thing to my kingdom
26
Release a fistful, of rhymes for the fiscal year
27
MC's are wishful fuckin with this here
28
They stuck with the tear, for fear they foresake a brother's love
29
it's clear -- I'd have to be the better man I'm thinkin
30
The 7th Letter Man ain't got no time for petty speakin (uhh)
31
So we go our seperate ways I see the fork in the road
32
I know I blessed you with a portion of gold
33
and some good fortune to hold, so KEEP THAT
34
while I keep it movin, just like truckloads
35
of interstate cargo, taxin niggaz like U.S. embargoes
36
You my man like I said so all the best
37
You shoulda known we do shit differently than all of the rest
38
Can't afford to let a link be, loose in the chain
39
It's time for us to get mad more, juice in the game
40
You're buggin son (that's right) that's word to Billy and Fame
41
So I'ma stay the game, that we play to win (Yeah!)
42
So I don't care what you say to her or say to him
43
The object son, is to excel and lead
44
And niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed
45
Chorus: M.O.P. and Guru
46
[M.O.P.] If it's animosity
47
[Guru] Let me know
48
[M.O.P.] If you plottin to stop my dough
49
[Lil' Fame] Time to go!
50
[M.O.P.] GangStarr, M.O.P. nigga
51
[Billy Danze] Tryin to blow!
52
[M.O.P.] If you my man you could understand!
53
*repeat 2X*
54
[Lil' Fame]
55
I'm true to myself y'all, and I'm a down ass nigga!
56
So don't fool yourself, clown ass nigga!
57
I always been the type of cat that'll put it on ya
58
since back in the days when Laze snatched me off the corner
59
And every since then, the whole game changed
60
Everybody's against, Lil' ass Fame
61
They wanna see me stretched out with my back smokin
62
Left for dead in the street with my back opened
63
So I don't keep friends I just roll with
64
niggaz I was RAISED WITH, went out in a BLAZE WITH
65
In the penile, to B.ville, down to Grayson
66
And we thick together, in these last days kid
67
So I don't have what you call friends
68
cause when it's on then they gone in the end!
69
But I'ma handle my business indeed
70
Cause niggaz be bluffin fallin for nothin but greed!
71
Chorus
72
[Billy Danze]
73
Hey yo what happened to the love soldier? It never crossed my mind
74
that you would doubt my love inside and test my pride
75
I divide, anything that I got
76
with my M.O.P. staff -- WE ALL AND WE OUT!
77
To the First Family loyalty, is no game
78
We them type of niggaz that, money won't change
79
We all aim, for the big picture
80
but to me it don't mean shit if your dogs ain't witcha
81
I sacrifice my main arteries -- WHY NIGGA?!
82
Ain't nobody never loved me, like my niggaz
83
See my business is my friendship and my friendship is my business
84
Can I get a witness?! (Preach on nigga!)
85
Hey yo we went through all out wars, half-assed tours
86
Travelled 'cross this land with heavy contraband
87
(See you my man!) And you ain't never got to
88
second guess or question the love of William Danze (Sho' nuff!)
89
I am invaluable, to my niggaz
90
cause they all rest there in thirty-two -- BETTER THAN NOTHIN!
91
Think of William when they start bustin, I hold you down
92
(When them body parts pop up cousin) I'll be around!
93
"friends" "business" (repeat 6X to fade)
